He needs a seat at the table after the inauguration. He doesn’t want to be cast into the outer darkness where there will be nothing but weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

He must’ve heard Trump’s new Les Deplorables theme song on YouTube.

Has anyone noticed that Trump speaks in plain, simple English, no big words and no weasel words?

Whereas H! speaks in words so ambiguous that nobody can really understand just exactly what she said............

How much did he spend against Trump vs. How much has he given so far?

That is the only measuring stick worth looking at now.

In November one of two things will happen. Either Donald Trump will be elected the next President of the United States or Hillary Clinton will.

That makes for a pretty simple choice.

Take his money Mr Trump and donate it to veterans.

Don’t tell the a-hole what you did with his bribe for a “seat at the table” until he comes calling for you to return the favor (at or after) your inaugural.

Hitlery doesn’t know what she’s saying either. Did you see the Zombie Hitlery on the plane last Friday night? Did she know where she was or who she was?

I once worked with somebody who proofread Army manuals. In particular, he was looking at grade level - tried to keep it as low as possible. Simple words are the best way to transfer information.

Repentance is good for the soul, and in this case, one suspects, will prove good for business also.

A lot of people are pretending to vote for Hillary, in order not to offend others pretending to vote for Hillary. There are at least some reasons to believe that there is a huge pretender element in the current dialog.

If I am right, we are going to shatter a lot of delusions in seven weeks.

May a just God hear our prayers for the restoration of the America we stand for!

She has that cadence that is familiar to someone who tries to parse their words while picking the ‘right’ ones to keep from making an irretrievable gaff.

Or she was drunk.................

Trump might want to tell him “Thanks, but no thanks”Trump has raised $100 million in small donations since the end of June without his kind.

The Ricketts family own the Cubs and they are having a terrific year. This guy understands business and he does not want to be on the outside for the next four years....between him and Jack Welch...expect more of these in next few weeks.
